« Guessing games | Main | What a catch » 07 Aug 2008 05:04 pm Someone suggested to me that I should start a dogblogging feature, and as I happen to have an adorable 9 month old puppy at hand, this seemed like a good idea. The first picture, however, is not of my own Bartleby, but of a dog named Frog who frequents Solly's, my local pub. You may commence cooing.

It probably comes as a great relief to some to find out that isn't your dog- there were a lot of Megan McArdle fantasies that were on life support for just a moment. 
I find myself agreeing with ML&J- that dog looks like the pub's best customer.
Megan, I remember you posting what I assumed was a picture of your dog and being secretly delighted by it. I adore dogs, and I also adore looking at pictures of dogs. In fact, I am what you might call a "dog person", and as such I could get behind this dogblogging idea. MoeLarryAndJesus, there is no such thing as a teetotaling dog.

This niche of the internet is already full. Go to http://www.cuteoverload.com/ if you want sickening amounts of cute animals. Who's leg is that, by the way?
Michael asks: "Who's leg is that, by the way?" You mean "whose." And what you're really asking is, "Jesus, Megan, have you ever shaved your legs?"
That is the leg of the dog's owner, who is male.
That is the leg of the dog's owner, who is male. I'm not sure we can be sure of that until we know more about his web surfing habits.
Megan says: "That is the leg of the dog's owner, who is male." Dude has pencil legs.
Clearly a man's leg. If you look closely you can see that it's hairy, and most women shave their legs. Tragically, far too many women don't stop with their legs, but that's another issue for another time :((((
If you're doing this because somebody suggested it would be a good idea, will you stop doing it if I suggest that it isn't? Does the internets really need more pictures of cute dogs? Or a better question would be, is this really what the Atlantic is paying you to do?
hR asks: "Or a better question would be, is this really what the Atlantic is paying you to do?" Give it a rest, it's one frigging post. Should she write a book and spend a month using the blog to promote it instead? It's not like she's linking to white supremacists or something really vile. It's just a dog with a drinking problem.
"Give it a rest, it's one frigging post." She just said she was going to start a "dogblogging feature." Again, I think the internet has already reached maximum capacity with this particular genre. "Should she write a book and spend a month using the blog to promote it instead?" So these are the only alternatives? Dogblogging, book promos or white supremacy? Hm...I guess I'll take the month-long book promotion.
Dogs are done, but you've stumbled on an underblogged topic: asshole shoes.
I demand to know who's been a good boy.
Dude's wearing flip-flops. They seem like pretty run-of-the-mill shoes to me. What shoes wouldn't make him an asshole, pray tell?
I can do without the dogs. And I am sure glad that was not Megan's leg, though I was still prepared to make that sacrifice and overlook the bad grooming cause her head is cool. No pets.
Is Frog's resemblance to John McCain an indication that Frog has the same sort of uncertain temper? I will not accept that the resemblance is an accident until it is demonstrated that Bartleby is not an Obama look-alike.
I know what Santa is going to bring hR for Christmas...A big pair of pliers to pull that giant bug out of his butt.
Well, at least it's not the increasingly generic DC pit bull or German shepherd. There's a pit bull a couple blocks from me that sued to routinely charge the chain link fence when I walked by, and let me tell you, those things are FIERCE.
Megan, I love your blog, and I admire your many skills, but somebody has to say it: that's a horrible snapshot. The composition is dreadful and the leg in the back is truly distracting. However, you are right 92% of the time, so I suppose I will forgive you.
Can you ever have too many pictures of dogs? I think not. Moreover, it is better that Megan blog about dogs than her recent trend of "I, a person who has lived in Washington for all of a year, want all of you outsiders from the suburbs banned from my city" posts.
teh internets says, "no more dogs. i is full."
My position is that I like the dogblogging feature. But I don't think that one's cute!

What breed of dog is that? I'm a fan, whatever kind it is. Somebody buy him another beer.

Frog is a handsome English Bull dog.
